Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining eveningsWhen the distant sea blended with the skyPast coliseum's filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glassI carried in my heart a word or two

You dashing horseman all gone awayLeft you a stable bill to payAnd now the golden calf has turned to clayAll my feelings dressed in glovesCouldn't touch your windswept harbour loveWhite and open-necked you would still play

I'd resort to sleepwalking to catch the mood that fills the sailsWith harvest nets and tides don't ever bringBut every night was halloween, and every friend fell in betweenAnd how capricious nature ruled my mind

You dashing horseman all gone awayLeft you a stable bill to payAnd now the golden calf has turned to clayAll my feelings dressed in glovesCouldn't touch your windswept harbour loveWhite and open-necked you would still play

Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining eveningsWhen the distant sea blended with the skyPast coliseum's filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glassI carried in my heart a word or twoBut you would always make me see today

You dashing horseman all gone awayLeft you a stable bill to payAnd now the golden calf has turned to clayAll my feelings dressed in glovesCouldn't touch your windswept harbour loveWhite and open-necked you would still play

I sound so different these days, I barely can believe I'm hereIf I didn't know better, I would swear I was someone elseLord I can't believe, I don't believe I'm meBut who on Earth could I be?

You dashing horseman all gone awayLeft you a stable bill to payAnd now the golden calf has turned to clayAll my feelings dressed in glovesCouldn't touch your windswept harbour loveWhite and open-necked you would still play
